Well, duh. And, John, even thought I’m not a huge fan of Romney, he is a better presidential candidate than you.
Myth is a better candidate simply by not engaging in unilateral disarmament. McCain self-destructed by deciding to go for Federal financing, figuring that since Obama had already pledged to do so, he would keep his word. Obama changed his mind, rejected Federal financing and outspent McCain 3 to 1. That translated to six points of victory margin for Obama, about $75m for each point of margin. All I can say about McCain - war hero or not - is that he was extremely stupid.
